It would be unconstitutional to removing the e*******l college for it will deny the rest of the 50 states from the e*******l process. If you use popular v**es, only NY, California, and Chicago could decide the e******n. The 47 states are disenfranchised. It is unconstitutional. The Founding Fathers in 1789, who framed the constitution and requiring the e*******l college were brilliant thus now the deciding factor. A p**********l candidate can win both the popular v**e and the e*******l college. But when a p**********l candidate has more e*******l college v**es than the other, then the candidate with higher e*******l v**es win the e******n.
Presidents who won via the majority of e*******l v**es.
1888 Benjamin Harrison 233/401
2000 George W. Bush 271/538
2016 Donald Trump 304/538
In 2016 Hillary Clinton had edge on the popular v**es of 2.6 million. It was also found that millions were illegal v**es from California alone. There were many other states that illegal v**es were cast for Clinton.
Many states had more v**es than registered v**ers. The dead v**ed also.

Arguing the effects of California's & New York's (add Illinois) popular/e*******l v****g edge is weak.
2017's top ten states, by population, in the U.S.A.: According to the 2016 e******n results, as one can see, the Dems certainly did not dominate the urban states and thus, their e*******l v**es. According to the numbers below, the GOP actually has a popular v**e edge of about thirty million among the top ten states in population....
1. California 39,536,653...Democrats
2. Texas 28,304,596...GOP
3. Florida 20,984,400...GOP
4. New York 19,849,399...Democrats
5. Pennsylvania 12,805,537...GOP
6. Illinois 12,802,023...Democrats
7. Ohio 11,658,609...GOP
8. Georgia 10,429,379...GOP
9. North Carolina 10,273,419...GOP
10. Michigan 9,936,211...GOP
BTW, I am fine with the e*******l college system, but if & when there is a constitutional amendment eliminating it in favor of the popular v**e, I could/would accept such a decision.
